E90 xi on YCW Aries coilovers

Finally wrapped up my install. Initial impressions are positive, although I've only managed to put on 5 mites or so.

I'm running them a couple clicks from the softest settings. Fitment is good, fronts are about 1/4" from full botton rears are somewhere in the middle. My goad was to get rid of the XI gap, have something that had a nice usable stance with my staggered wheels; and maintaine some level of comfort as this is my DD after all. I believe I've checked all my boxes!

Looks great. Comfortable? Did you consider any other coilovers, what made you go with these specifically?

Yeah they pretty nice on the street especially considering Wisconsin road conditions. I got a good price on these, they seem like quality hardware so figured it was worth a shot as my stock shocks were dead.
